Hashtags don't apply to imported document

When I import a markdown file with hashtags in the Front Matter or in the content, DEVONthink creates the tags fine, but they are not applied to the imported file.

What am I doing wrong?

Please clarify what you’re referring to. What do you mean by this “DEVONthink creates the tags fine, but they are not applied to the imported file.” ?

Also, screen captures could be helpful.

New tags from the imported files are created in the Global Tags lists, but the imported files are not associated with them.

So the imported files have no DEVONthink tags.

Please post the raw source of such a document, thank you!

In addition, as new tags were created, is it possible that the tags were assigned but a smart rule deleted them again? Because DEVONthink creates tags automatically only to assign them immediately.

Thank you for the tip! Indeed, it was a Smart Rule as culprit.

Not sure which, I just removed them all.

Cheers!!!

Glad to hear it.
